Not your typical NZ food, but a friendly welcome and straightforward menu, gave way to a tasty miso soup. The five of us ordered a variety of set meals, and all agreed they were tasty and generous portions, whether it was chicken, sushi or combinations thereof.
In terms of price, it was also very reasonable, so worth a visit, if...

The sushi here, while not the best I've ever had, was still really good. My sister and I both ordered two rolls and a salad and were content. Service was really good as well. Price seemed pretty good for the size of the roll we got.

On reading the good reviews and the varied menu that seemed to cater well for vegetarians, we headed down to Sharaku with quite high expectations. Unfortunately we left a little underwhelmed. We share 2 starters; the tofu in tempura sauce and the vegetable tempura. The tofu was in a nice sauce but the tofu itself was too fine for the...

I have been going to this restaurant since year 2002, and I have noticed their owner/manager has never changed. Food are always exceptional, service always polite.

Food is ok but nothing special. Limited choice of sushi. The fish look ok but not very fresh. However, I think it is pricy.

This is the worst Japanese restaurant I've been. Food is overpriced and service is too slow. I had the sushi set and the fish is not fresh and the rice is too soft. The embrace is good but the food is a disappointment. I won't return back to this place again.
